My friend Jerod flies Skyhawk 518. Beautiful TA-4.

Two seats would be great! I think it's still for sale too.

If memory serves there was a time when you could get your hands on a TA-4, but the J52 engine was verboten. There was at least one Frankenhawk TA-4 back-converted to J65 power. I'm glad to see that 518 has the J52.

This excellent video featuring the venerable A-4 Skyhawk was recently shared among a few surviving squadron members of the VA-146 Blue Diamonds (1966-67), and then shared with me. Today we are celebrating the anniversary of my Father's 90th Birthday. Many of you knew him here as BusyBee604 before his passing in 2016. He would want me to share it with his fellow AirWarriors and Scooter fanatics...my apologies if this is a double tap.
